Is it reasonable to consider that Rock music is male gendered?

Female equality has come a long way, Still it seems they do not receive the same recognition for it, in a 2003 Top 50 guitar players list not one woman was able to grace the list, though if any consolation there were two in the Top 100 but one asks why this is the case. We all know lead guitarists are developed not born (though some element of talent is) but social parameters allow it so the guitar is considered the male domain, with such genres as rock closely following suit. Some may argue it’s a physical issue, claiming the guitar was designed for the male others claim the lyrical content and mannerism of Rock was designed to be performed by a males a strictly boys only club and for a female to join club they have to be considered one of the ‘boys’ like Janis Joplin. So considering Rock’s background, Image and fundamental instruments its fair to say its gendered male with female’s only really either being acknowledged as part of the content of the songs.
